Learning how to check HRDF balance helps you see how much levy is available before planning employee training.
You can view the balance through the HRD Corp eTRiS portal and open the Levy Statement for a more detailed breakdown.
Checking it early helps you plan training with more control, avoid last-minute decisions and make better use of the levy your company has already contributed.
The steps below show exactly where to find the balance, what the figures mean and what to do next.
What Is the HRDF Levy Balance?
Your HRDF levy balance is the amount available in your company’s HRD Corp levy account after contributions and reimbursements are taken into account. Employers can use the levy through HRD Corp’s grant system to fund eligible employee training.
Under the Pembangunan Sumber Manusia Berhad Act 2001, employers with 10 or more Malaysian employees must register and contribute 1% of monthly wages. Employers with 5 to 9 Malaysian employees can register voluntarily and contribute 0.5%.
A company with RM100,000 in eligible monthly wages under the 1% category contributes RM1,000 a month, or RM12,000 a year, to its HRD Corp levy.
Employers can refer to the HRDF contribution in Malaysia requirements to calculate their monthly levy payments, check contribution rates and identify the types of employee training eligible for funding.

How to Check HRDF Balance in eTRiS: 4 Steps
The eTRiS portal (Electronic Training Information System) is the official source for your live levy balance.
Step 1: Log In to eTRiS
Go to the HRD Corp eTRiS employer login page and enter your Username or MyCoID and password. HRD Corp emails these to the registered contact person after employer registration.
Step 2: Read the Balance on Your Dashboard
The employer dashboard displays your current levy balance on login. Note the date, since the figure changes whenever a payment posts or a grant is approved.
Step 3: Open the Levy Statement
Select the levy section in the menu to view the statement month by month, filtered by year.
Step 4: Download or Print the Statement
Export the statement as a PDF for finance records or your training plan meeting.
Pro tip: Check the balance before you apply for a training grant. HRD Corp requires grant approval before training starts, and the approved amount is reserved against your levy from that point.
How to Read Your HRD Corp Levy Statement
Your Levy Statement shows where every ringgit went.
| Statement figure | What it shows | What to check |
|---|---|---|
| Levy contributions | Monthly 1% or 0.5% payments received by HRD Corp | Every month appears, paid by the 15th |
| Grants approved | Amounts reserved for approved training programmes | Matches the programmes HR has booked |
| Claims paid | Reimbursements after training is completed | No claim left pending after documents are submitted |
| Available balance | Levy still free for new grant applications | The figure you plan next quarter’s training around |
A missing month usually points to a late payment.
HRD Corp may impose 10% annual interest on outstanding levy payments calculated based on the period of delay. Check with your finance team to confirm that all levy payments have been successfully credited.
What to Do With Your HRDF Balance
An available levy balance is budget waiting for a purpose, and HRD Corp funds soft skills and team development alongside technical courses.
| Team Challenge | Recommended Programme | Focus |
|---|---|---|
| Weak cross-department communication | Speak with Impact | Builds clearer communication and presentation skills |
| Low morale or newly merged teams | Bond to Win | Strengthens trust, collaboration and team connection |
